Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

Away Seats

It was a disgrace today, the seats in the away end were filthy, every fan today had to wipe off months of DIRT off them with scarve, gloves hankies etc. We pay £9 to see sh*t on the park, and are expected to sit on it as well. GET A GRIP THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELFARE OF THE FANS.

Re: Away Seats

Totally agree. My son sat on a seat unaware that it was covered in remnants from a previous games chicken tikka pie.
For the seats not to have been cleaned prior to todays game is unacceptable.

Re: Away Seats

Maybe the club should use Richie to clean the seats as he does little else to justify his wage.

Re: Away Seats

THE SPEED HE GOES, WOULD HAVE TO START 4.50PM AFTER THE GAME TO BE FINISHED FOR THE NEXT SATURDAY

Re: Away Seats

Sounds a really professional way to run a football club....not!!!

Re: Away Seats

Are you stuck on repeat? A desperate plea for attention...

Re: Away Seats

Rumour Man/Disgrace

You are entirely right that the dirty seats were unacceptable and for that I apologise personally.

Re: Away Seats

C,mon Davie, what is going on at our club? DIRTY SEATS, NO PIES AT HALF TIME, NEW SIGNING DOESN,T EVEN KNOW HE HAS A CONTRACT, DOESN,T KNOW HE IS EXPECTED TO PLAY TILL 2 HOURS BEFORE KICK OFF. MASIVE FAN EXIT, SHIT TATICS, ??????????????????????????

Re: Away Seats

Just goes to show what a "mickey mouse" outfit you are!!

Re: Away Seats

Of course if there was a Trust man on the board, at least the fans would have an official elected rep through whom such grievances could be addressed, rather than relying on this site.

Seeing as how the chairman's son clearly reads aftn and passes messages on to the great man (who even walked out before the end himself), perhaps John could let us know exactly when daddy is going to permit this representation, and if not now, then why not?

Re: Away Seats

Why on earth would anyone want the chairman to resign???

Re: Away Seats

sorry misread what you posted

Re: Away Seats

Dave

Want a hand to clean the seats next week?

Re: Away Seats

Yes,please.

Re: Away Seats

OK

What time?
Bearing in mind that corporate starts at 12.30 and I don,t want to dirty my white shirt!

Re: Away Seats

Hi Mole my "Daddy" is still at work just now but I will pass on the message. Perhaps you could ask him yourself?

Re: Away Seats

'perhaps John could let us know exactly when daddy is going to permit this representation, and if not now, then why not?'

How many times Moley. You have been told when the Trust expect to have someone on the board and I don't feel the need to repeat the answer you were given. The Trust board respect and accept the time frame given by the Club. We have no reason to doubt them as so far they have been honest and up front with us.

I fully expect you to come back with some words of wisdom about how we are being led up the garden path etc but tbh, I don't really care.

Re: Away Seats

There is a lot of anger in this thread and probably quite rightly so. The team did not perform as well as they should have and as paying customers everyone has the right to be angry at that. What I do not think is fair is being angry at the volunteers that prepare the stadium. They do as much as they can and for no other reward other than to help the club.

The seats being dirty is something that we can all help with. Mike, I will help you clean the seats on saturday as well. Dave, see you tomorrow night at the Supporters Club meeting.

Re: Away Seats

The club knew weeks ago that the away end would be used this week, Plenty of time. At Raith the youngsters in the inder 19,s clean the seats, what happened to youngsters serving their time at clubs.

Re: Away Seats

Would anyone (board member, trust rep, fan, or club employee) have preempted the dirty seats - if they had, I'm sure it would have been dealt with. Now that the problem has been brought to the club's attention, I doubt it'll happen again. Case closed.

Re: Away Seats

DHAS

See you tonight.
My brother has also volunteered but he doesn't know it yet!
